Dioctyl Phthalate. Cas No: 117-81-7

DiOctyl Phthalate is the most common member of the class of phthalates, which are used as plasticizers. This colorless viscous liquid is soluble in oil, but not in water. It cannot be extracted with water and can be mixed with all monomers for the softening of PVC paste mixtures. It increases the elasticity of the material and exhibits electrical resistance. Due to its suitable properties and the low cost, DOP is widely used as a plasticizer in manufacturing of articles made of PVC.
It acts as an economical, general performance monomeric plasticizer.
